"Your Highness, are you saying that my mother really had a grudge against people back then? So now retaliated against? An Yiran's face instantly became not calm, and she was even more worried.

If her mother's disappearance was really because of this situation, it would be the worst, and I am afraid that there would be a fear of life.

An Yiran thought in a panic, her heart suddenly became a pang, and her mind began to think of all kinds of terrible pictures, and her expression gradually became frightened.

"Don't panic first, maybe it's not such a bad result, wait for this king to continue to investigate carefully before making a conclusion." Song Moyu saw that An Yiran was starting to be anxious, and hurriedly comforted, trying her best to stabilize her mood.

"Your Highness Youlao." An Yiran stroked her chest with one hand, trying to keep herself calm, trying to tell herself not to be cranky.

……

Mo Chun returned to the palace and ordered someone to investigate An Yiran's life background.

She didn't expect that this woman, who looked a little similar to Concubine Lian, was actually from Xizhou Anfu, that is, the daughter of the witch mother who was reused by the palace back then.

However, what she really wondered was: as far as she knew, when the witch mother left the capital, she only had a small child under her knees, why after so many years, there was still a daughter, and this daughter seemed to have reached the age of the bridle.

The next day, she reported the matter to Empress Xiao.

"Really?" Empress Xiao's face was full of surprise, and there was a faint sense of foreboding in her heart.

"What the slave said is true, the woman's eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to the concubine Lian back then, the slave and maid were puzzled, and ordered someone to investigate carefully, but found this result." Mo Chun's tone was firm, and she reported the truths that puzzled her.

"And have you found out the reason for the strangeness?" Empress Xiao lightly picked the phoenix eyes, her face was full of disbelief, and she asked eagerly.

"According to the slave maid's investigation, Cong Zhiying's daughter was kept in Yunjiang when she was a baby, and she didn't bring this daughter back to her until she had a serious illness ten years ago, but don't worry, the slave and maid feel that this matter does make sense, as the royal witch mother, she can only raise one son in her life, and Xu Cong Zhiying was afraid of being discovered, so she secretly gave birth to her daughter and sent her to Yunjiang without telling the world." Mo Chun carefully expressed the speculation in his heart, trying to calm Empress Xiao's flustered heart.

"In this way, then there is no need to worry, this palace only asks the Beiluo demon girl to stay away from Yu'er, and the rest, this palace has no mental knowledge."

Empress Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, her expression eased a little, her cherry-red lips moved slightly, and with Mo Chun's support, she slowly walked to the edge of the couch and sat down, habitually looking around the cold palace in front of her.

Since those events happened ten years ago, Empress Xiao has been snubbed by Emperor Song Jingyu, except for specific festivals that require the emperor and queen to sleep together, at other times, Song Jingyu has not set foot in Yuanhua Palace.

The people in the palace all bowed high and stepped low, and some other concubines and nobles rarely came to ask for peace when they saw that the queen was losing power, and they all flocked to the powerful Yi Guifei to compliment.

Empress Xiao has long looked down on all the imperial favors, she doesn't expect her husband to have any affection for her, she just wants her queen's position to remain stable, and her only sister-in-law, Song Moyu, can compete for strength, so that she can rely on her son in the future.

But now her sister-in-law Song Moyu has lost his reputation because of a foreign singer, and the ministers of the DPRK and China have opinions on him, which is a big obstacle to his future, and she will never allow the situation to continue to deteriorate.

"Alas! Now the palace can only hope that Yu'er will be more angry, otherwise the Xiao family will fall sooner or later. Empress Xiao let out a long sigh, with endless worries in her heart.

As long as she thinks of her mother's family, which was not as good as the year, she is worried.

"Don't worry, as long as His Royal Highness can marry a woman with a powerful and high-ranking position in the family, then the Xiao family will have support and protection." Mo Chun mentioned on the side, loyally persuading.

"That's hard, too! Yu'er is now at the age of marriage, but His Majesty has not given him a marriage, I don't know what his plan is, for so many years, he has snubbed me, everything is my own doing, but Yu'er is his sister-in-law after all, and he doesn't think about Yu'er. ”

Empress Xiao said with a sad face, the expectations for her son in her heart were too great, resulting in greater disappointment, her sister-in-law not only did not fight, but also brought back an unpopular Beiluo Geji from Guxie, which seriously hindered his future, and she really hated it.

The two were chatting, and a palace maid hurriedly entered the palace to report: "Niangniang, the sixth palace has come down!" ”

When Empress Xiao heard this, her heart was overjoyed, she had not seen her son for many days, she turned her head to look at the door of the hall, and shouted happily: "Quick! Announce him in! ”

After a while, Song Moyu walked into the hall steadily, walked directly to Queen Xiao, clasped his hands and knelt down: "Erchen asks for peace to the queen mother." ”

"Yu'er, hurry up! Why did you have to come to the main palace today? Empress Xiao smiled on her face, and looked at Song Moyu's eyes full of love.

"If you have something to do in the palace today, I will come to see the queen mother." Song Moyu's expression was indifferent, and his tone was so flat that he couldn't hear any emotional changes, and even felt a little alienated.

At lunchtime, Empress Xiao left Song Moyu in Yuanhua Palace for dinner, and in the face of the delicacies of the mountains and seas in front of him, Song Moyu felt that the food was tasteless.

He was deeply worried about his heart at the moment, but he didn't know how to best express his thoughts with his mother.

"Yu'er eat more, look at you, you've lost weight recently." Empress Xiao chattered happily and took the initiative to pick up vegetables for her son.

Song Moyu didn't appreciate it, deliberately took the bowl away, and said in an indifferent tone: "Queen Mother, Erchen likes the dishes he knows, and he can clip them, so don't bother the queen mother." ”

Empress Xiao was sensitive, feeling Song Moyu's alienated attitude, she suddenly felt lost, she was stunned for a while, and then reluctantly squeezed out a smile and responded: "That's okay!" You clip it yourself. ”

Song Moyu couldn't bear the discomfort in his heart anymore, he stopped eating, thought for a while, and slowly spoke: "Queen Mother, don't trouble Ah Li anymore." ”

Empress Xiao paused for an instant to eat, the smile on her face gradually disappeared, she put down the dishes and chopsticks, and said with a solemn expression: "Yu'er, everything this palace does is for you." ”

"The queen mother keeps saying that for me, have you ever thought about it? We are where we are today, isn't it thanks to your generosity back then? Song Moyu looked indifferent, and mercilessly poked the pain that Queen Xiao had buried in her heart for many years.

"Yu'er, no matter what this palace does, it's because of you, you are all the hope of this palace, since Su Qianli followed you back to Beijing, there are many rumors in Beijing that are unfavorable to you, can this palace not be in a hurry?" The more Empress Xiao spoke, the more excited she became, her face showed a sadness, and she was disappointed in Song Moyu in her heart.

"Even if there is no Ah Li, Erchen will still be stumbling by those who have a heart." Song Moyu said worriedly about his difficult situation, although he couldn't bear to hurt his mother, he couldn't tolerate her attacking his beloved woman.

"So Yu'er, you must marry an official woman who can help you stabilize your position." Empress Xiao said loudly, her tone was full of toughness and determination, she was really bent on Jackie Chan.

It's a pity that Song Moyu didn't agree with the queen mother's idea, he sneered and said angrily: "Isn't the queen mother just trying to force me to marry a woman I don't like?" But I want Ah Li! ”

"Yu'er, that Su Qianli is Beiluo's fine work! If your father knew that you insisted on marrying that demon girl, he would be dizzy, and you would suffer at that time! Empress Xiao was anxious at this time, and persuaded bitterly, tears kept rolling in her eyes.

"All this is a lie! Ah Li is not a Beiluo fine work at all, she is a wonderful woman! Song Moyu argued with reason, and he couldn't tolerate Su Qianli's slander at all.

"Yu'er, don't be deceived by that demon girl, she is using your kindness to achieve her own goals!" Empress Xiao was even more excited now, and raised the volume of her argument with Song Moyu.

Song Moyu didn't want to argue with Empress Xiao anymore, he sighed lightly, and finally said helplessly: "Erchen finally knows why his father was so cruel to his mother back then, if the queen mother interferes with his son, it will not be difficult for his son to stay away from his mother like his father." ”

He put down these words, stood up, and left Yuanhua Palace without looking back, leaving Empress Xiao with a resentful and stunned face.

Mo Chun saw the dispute scene between Empress Xiao and Song Moyu, and hated Su Qianli a little bit in her heart, and concluded that she used another means to provoke Song Moyu to obey her, causing the mother and son to be separated.

She approached Empress Xiao's side and reminded in a low voice, "Niangniang, the Sixth Highness must have been confused by that demon girl. ”

"Humph! I must not let that Beiluo Demon Girl affect my Yu'er's future! Empress Xiao snorted coldly and said resentfully, and a plan to get rid of Su Qianli was faintly brewing in her heart.

After Song Moyu left Yuanhua Palace, he walked directly to the palace gate, preparing to leave the palace immediately.

When he was about to walk to the palace gate, he met Song Mohui who was coming towards him.

"Yo, isn't this the king's sixth brother? What kind of wind is blowing you back to the palace today? When Song Mohui saw Song Moyu, he stopped and inevitably sneered at him.

"As a royal child, you shouldn't need any wind to enter the palace, right? But the imperial brother, why do you always blow the wind of inquiry to the imperial brother's Beijing suburb courtyard? Song Moyu was not afraid of Song Mohui's various sarcasm and ridicule, he hooked the corners of his lips and said meaningfully.

"Huh! Relying on the words of others, he slandered his brother at will, and it seems that the sixth brother does not care about his brotherly feelings at all! Song Mohui pretended to have an innocent expression on his face, trying to cover up the ugly things he had done.

"If the eldest brother took into account the brotherhood, we would not have ended up in the situation we are in today." Song Moyu looked disdainful, and chose not to taunt each other with Song Mohui anymore, after all, he had other important things to do to get out of the palace.

Song Moyu walked a few steps past Song Mohan, and Song Mohui behind him suddenly spoke, and his next words made Song Moyu confused.

"Brother Wei knows that the sixth brother has been looking for Cong Zhiying, so I want to remind my brother that the case of Cong Zhiying's disappearance has nothing to do with Brother Wei, although Brother Wei also wants to have a good time, but he is still one step later than others that day."

Song Mohui pretended to reveal mysteriously, then paused, hooked the corners of his mouth obliquely, revealed a wicked smile, and added with a squinting expression: "However, Brother Wei is now more interested in Cong Zhiying's beautiful daughter!" ”
